The "Botanical Wonders" (May 18 -- November 25, 2007) exhibition at The Corning Museum of Glass celebrated the singular triumph of glassmakers Leopold Blaschka (1822-1895) and his son Rudolf (1857-1939) and offered close-ups of the people and the craft process behind the glass flowers. Former curator David Whitehouse narrates.

    These are stunningly beautiful, so delicate and realistic that they don't look like glass at all.

    I don't know much about the east coast. But my feeling is that Prague would be the ideal place to study the art of making fancy glass figures (I know that because I considered studying there as well). The Blaschka's also came from northern Bohemia and reflect the very old tradition of glass making in the Czech lands. Btw I myself am from Dresden and visited Harvard just to see the glass models, but couldn't find them. Are they presented in any museum publicly?

    I have wanted one of their models for years. I think I'd like to learn how to make glass creatures. Anybody know of a place on the east coast?
